Phospbomolybdate (PMo) with varying Mo loadings ranging from 5-30 wt% on alumina were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method. 0.5 wt% of Pt was further loaded in order to prepare the bifunctional (metal-...Phospbomolybdate (PMo) with varying Mo loadings ranging from 5-30 wt% on alumina were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method. 0.5 wt% of Pt was further loaded in order to prepare the bifunctional (metal-acid) Pt-PMo/Al2O3 catalysts. Thus prepared catalysts showed very high catalytic activities for n-heptane hydroisomerization compared with Pt impregnated MoO3 catalysts supported either on Al2O3 or on AIPO4. The conversion of n-heptane increased with Mo loading up to 20 wt% and slightly decreased with further Mo loading. However, the selectivity towards isomers showed an increasing trend up to 30 wt% of Mo in the catalyst. A relationship between catalytic activity and acidic strength was established in the present study.展开更多
